Oide Rascal (often translated as Come on Rascal) is a Japanese-exclusive pet simulation game released in 2001 for the Game Boy Color, based on the classic World Masterpiece Theater anime series Rascal the Raccoon. Players step into the shoes of the main character to live with and raise Rascal over the course of a single year before eventually returning him to the forest.
How to Play
The goal is to care for Rascal by feeding him, keeping his room clean, and improving your communication. Playing mini-games earns you points, which can then be spent on food, toys, and room customization items. Standard Game Boy Color controls apply: use the D-pad to navigate menus and interact, A to confirm actions or play mini-games, and B to cancel. As you bond with Rascal, he becomes more disciplined and can learn new tricks.
Tips
- Play Mini-games Frequently: Earning points consistently is the only way to afford the food and communication items necessary to keep Rascal happy.
- Focus on Discipline: Pay attention to Rascal’s mood and use items strategically to improve his training, which unlocks new behaviors over the in-game year.
